Battery problem again

The link i pasted on the post abobe, I think stephan did the setting unchecked from 19 gateway which cleared his faults. I did some changes in 19 Gateway as well while playing with headlight basic settings (someone recommended me here in this forum while i had headlight issue) , probably thats where I need to go back to change the settings or uncheck something which i don't know .

  • Alternators in recent cars with start/stop will not put out a constant 14.5V, so are no longer easy to test. An independent test of the battery at a non-Halfords establishment is a good idea.

  • Correct it, so the BMS knows what new battery the muppets at Halfrauds have fitted.

  • If you have altered coding in another Module then that may be your problem. Modules not shutting down when the ignition is turned off.   Its time for you to measure the current drawn from th

Sorry to have to say this to you, but this is a classic case of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. You really don't have a clue as to what you did last time when you played around with the coding, and you might well have made things worse. Now you're thinking about going back into the coding again to try and rectify what you did, but you don't truthfully know what you did, so how do you know that you can undo what you did and or what the original coding was. This is utter and complete madness in my view, and you do seriously risk doing serious damage.

 

Please, I beg you, leave it alone, you have been given perfectly sound advice so far with no risk of damage to your car, so please do yourself a favour and book it into a Škoda specialist who will be able to recode it back to the original, and then they can work from there. If you do a Google search, there are loads of Skoda repair centres in the London area.

 

Whenever doing anything that can screw your car up like coding the ECU's, the golden rule is to double-check what you're doing is correct, and also to write down what the codes were before you change anything so in the case of things going wrong, you can go back and input the old code again, so you can be returned to the position you were in before.

I can see something incorrect to me here in long coding in Multicunction module

 

LED Headlight:  Not enabled. 

 

Just wondering if i change it to enable what may happen?

Just because it says it is not enabled, does not mean that it is incorrect, it would only be applicable to a car that actually has LED headlights, do you actually know if your headlights are LED, Halogen or Xenon? What you are seeing might well be an option that some Octavia's have, but this will vary my the actual model within the range, or it may an option that can be specified as a factory fitment at the time of ordering the car when new. Now I don't know quite how the OBD11 device you have actually works, it might be a simple matter of toggling between Enable or Disable, or it asks you to input a long string of numbers and letters. Do you have a manual that was supplied with the device, if you have it might be an idea to read it and if it offers help in that area. I'm not an expert in that area at all so I cannot really advise on that.

 

Maybe if you post again with the make and model information on the device, maybe another member might be able to help you further, but I can't.

Post the full lcode and adaptation map from 4B. I think OBDeleven calls this a 'backup' and should be available after entering 4B...?

 

It appears the OP does have LED headlights based on their scan:

D6 LED Module Left

    System description: LED1L
    Software number: 7P5941591AD
    Software version: 0005
    Hardware number: 7P5941591A

Edit:

Just checked the 4B lcode in the scan: 000000030100046600003F01010000000000000000000000000000000000

This appears to be incorrect, especially as no other scan online shares the same lcode.

 

I would suggest trying: 000000070100046600003D01010000000000000000000000000000000000

I wouldn't know where to input this code. Here in obd i just have toggling option. I wen to backup but it seems it will try to do back up once i click..but i didn't.

Complete guess, but maybe try hitting this button:

I have a feeling that'll then change to the proper lcode rather than their descriptions. You can then follow these instructions: https://support.obdeleven.com/en/articles/5608788-long-coding

 

You need to change:

- byte 03 from 03 to 07

- byte 10 from 3F to 3D

 

As that's probably easier than typing out the entire lcode :)

Nissan Qashqai have LED headlights but also have headlight adjuster on dashboard so that's not a good indicator.

I can copy and paste this long code.i tried to paste it and it works ..but I am scared to do it..previously i tried to fix this problem by changing/toggling options and it brought head light range fault on the maxidot display..

You'll need to perform basic settings after changes to 4b. So you'll probably get an error until then.

 

You already know what the coding was so worse case, you set it back.

Ok I'm learning here, so if the car does indeed have LED headlights but they aren't matrix type, then what is the function of the enable LED headlight, or disable LED headlight? The car must have functioning headlights otherwise it would be illegal to drive the car even in daylight and surely the car has been driven in 16 months after dark, so what is being used as headlights?

Graham, what information do you need for you to check that my car has LED front and back. When the car was advertised in carshop website it clearly stated about LED and then i cross checked before travelling to Manchester to buy it. I had 1.6tdi same car with halogen ..only reason to upgraded it was LEDs  

 

N.B: I might be ignorant about too details of technical information of a car but not that much who can not identify halogen and LED .

What to do in basic settings though?

It does, otherwise D6 and D7 wouldn't appear in the scan.

They aren't, as they never existed for the MK3 Octavia.

Ask VAG 🤣 These descriptions are generally created by the scan tool manufactures as they don't exist in ODIS (VAG tool). Ross-tech must have spotted that whatever byte 03, bit 2 does, it was only set on cars with LED headlights and labeled it as such.

I expect it does... Based on the wiring diagram and leuchte channels, the BCM (09) will be in charge of turning them on/off. It's most likely channels 7 and 8 which are responsible for low beams.

 

However, the 'multifunction' module (4B) is charge of things like headlight leveling and possibly AFS so there is a chance automass doesn't have self-leveling at the moment.

Most likely, just click start and the OK/acknowledge - I have zero idea how OBDeleven will present this. Ross-tech state the following: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/VW_MQB_Headlight_Regulation

 

Please double check you're in module 4B before you hit basic settings.

 

In an ideal world, you then need to perform basic settings on a flat, level surface, whilst meeting these requirements:

Turns out there is even a video for OBDeleven, just remember it's 4B not 55:

wow, where were you all this time! Well, i have to fill my car now as i am running out of fuel..and probably I am gonna give the code a go..but I am guessing self labeling warning will pop up again..

OP had problems with the self levelling sensor earlier this year which he said the garage sorted out. 

 

automass, are you getting flashed at by other motorists because the headlights are too high?. If not self levelling is probably working.

That's exactly what i was thinking. Self labelling has been coded should be working. I am not getting honk from other drivers and my headlight low beam is not focusing to sky any more.

I am still scared to apply that code langers2k especially as you are also not sure about it. The headlight range  labelling warning is scary..previously I toggled an option which triggered it to pop in then i had to take the car to the same guy who did coding to adjust headlight labelling. Toggle the option back didn't eliminate that headlight range control warning.

Like I said before, the assumption you arrived at with the lack of a headlight levelling control was a red light and a warning bell to me because there are cars with LED headlights, that do also have the levelling controls on the dashboard.

 

I did also tell you that I was not an expert with OBD11, so I could not offer you any advice other than what I have already given. @langers2k has already confirmed that your car does have LED headlights, and he also has given a logical explanation of the function of module 4B is and how it operates, so you know need to pay close attention to his instructions as he is far more qualified on that topic than I am, I already told you I had zero knowledge of that, batteries and charging etc, yes, that is well within my ballpark. I still say that you have not yet solved why you were having flat battery issues and I suspect that until you discover why, you will suffer the same problem sometime in the future.

In the meantime, I'll leave you in the capable hands of @langers2kand he'll talk you through the steps to reactivate the levelling function of your headlights, and no, that would NOT be the cause of your occasional sudden loss of battery power.

 

Good luck.

@langers2k Thanks for the logic behind it. It all is now making sense to me after your detailed explanation, so I have today learnt something and that is good. I just hope that the OP can accept your knowledge on this matter and resolve his issue with his error codes.

Dash cam and faulty USB charger are to be blamed for battery problem. I am pretty certain about it now. USB charger has been changed, things all are working good now.
